Overview
- Saliers announced in a video with bandmate Amy Ray that she has two movement disorders that affect her ability to sing.
- She identified one as cervical dystonia, a neck condition that causes involuntary muscle contractions and head tremors.
- Saliers said the tremor prevents her from holding a straight vocal tone the way she used to.
- She told fans there is no cure for the conditions and that her voice will not return to its previous sound.
- The pair said they are rehearsing in Atlanta for upcoming shows, will bring Lucy Wainwright Roche to help on some songs, and asked audiences for patience, as artists like Brandi Carlile shared public support.
